Wongdoody has somehow held on with no layoffs, furloughs, or even pay cuts yet. We went on a raise freeze very early (March) but haven’t had reductions of any kind. Surprises me daily.

None...yet. Every day I hold my breath.

Is it an option for agencies to cut everyone’s pay by 5% across the board instead of laying off 10-15% of the staff?

Paying for benefits might factor that? Honestly, no clue.

FCB North America is doing great. No lay-offs, no pay cuts. And that is separate from health which of course is firing on all cylinders.

I’ve heard FCB typically pays under market rates. If true, it’s looking like a good move right now if that’s the outcome.

We have not. Lots of moves to preserve headcount — ceo bonus cut, exec team bonuses cut, discretionary spending cut, promotion freezes. Keeping people protected has been leaderships #1 priority.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
